To the Congress of the United States:
  In accordance with the provisions of section 1512 of the Strom 
Thurmond National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1999 
(Public Law 105-261), I hereby certify to the Congress that the export 
of one continuous mixer to be used to manufacture conductive polymer 
compounds to be further processed to make circuit protection devices, 
one jet mill to be used for particle size reduction of pigments and 
other powder products for cosmetic formulations, and one filament 
winding cell to be used to manufacture fiberglass assembly shelter 
poles for use in tents and shelters is not detrimental to the U.S. 
space launch industry, and that the material and equipment, including 
any indirect technical benefit that could be derived from these 
exports, will not measurably improve the missile or space launch 
capabilities of the People's Republic of China.
                                                        Barack Obama.
